JSONPObject feature to configure content parsing

[reinert]

It would be useful to have some feature allowing to programatically configure parsing behavior of JSONPObject.

For instance, tell Jackson Json Provider to not parse JSONPObject String content.

I am not 100% sure I understand: are you asking about parsing behavior (reading JSON input), or about processing when generating (writing) JSON? JSONPObject is never used for input (Jackson wouldn't know what to do with it anwyay, as things), so I am not sure how it'd related to parsing.

On output, on the other hand, JSONPObject should already have special handling; at least if we are talking about type Jackson adds (Jersey et al may have their own types).

Honestly, I don't remember anymore what was my use case.
Anyway, I guess I was talking about 'formatting' instead of 'parsing'. I may have expressed myself wrong.

Ok. We'll cross this bridge if we encounter it again. :-)
